Glad they got this guy , I lost a day of work due to this mess !

A very good reason why California should be a right to carry state so we can protect ourselves. There are not enough cops out there and the strict laws the lack of CCW's being allowed will only allow people like this to thrive amongst us.

Safety, Please pass that on to our City Council here in Stockton. Our crime goes up, the number of peace officers goes down.

by Beauhooligan4/21/2012 4:39:50 AM

It is so refreshing to see people making positive comments and being thankful for all the hard work law enforcement officers do. They risk their lives everyday to keep our communities safe and we are all in their debt.

Excellent coverage by KCRA. Thank you!

by Tully4/21/2012 4:43:06 AM

Erin, I couldn't agree more. I have a huge smile on my face seeing this. It's extremely rare for a community to ever praise officers over something like this. I'm happy to see them finally get some well-deserved recognition.

I am curious how law enforcement, and the suspect, got to the apartment where his life was taken. Just curious is all

Apparently the master minds that made recommendations to cut all the public safety in Stockton are now pushing those same cuts in cities like Woodland. I rather be in debt in my wallet than in debt with an innocent life because of lack of fire fighters an police

As law enforcement, we go out everyday knowing this kind of thing can happen. And we may be the one in the headline that day. Yet protection.

Investigators are calling the man who died the "primary suspect," implying others may have been involved in the earlier carjackings.

by Michelle Schultz/KCRA Staff4/21/2012 5:01:34 AM

As law enforcement, we go to work everyday knowing this kind of thing may happen. Hoping that we will be the officer to respond and be able to keep everyone safe. You never know when the tables will turn and we are the headline. Thanks to all those who stood before the evil and prevailed. Enjoy your families when you go home at the end of your shift.

Crews are continuing to process the scene.

by Michelle Schultz/KCRA Staff4/21/2012 5:02:38 AM

Police have had only "minimal time" inside the apartment complex.

by Michelle Schultz/KCRA Staff4/21/2012 5:02:51 AM

Smoke and water damage are inside complex.

by Michelle Schultz/KCRA Staff4/21/2012 5:03:01 AM

People on scene are asking police when residents can return home. Investigators aren't sure yet.

by Michelle Schultz/KCRA Staff4/21/2012 5:05:51 AM

Officials' next step is determining what led to the fire and shooting.

by Michelle Schultz/KCRA Staff4/21/2012 5:06:22 AM

Was the final shooting in the Arden area or in the West Sac area?

by Kittykat4/21/2012 5:06:25 AM

@Kitty, at the Ardenaire Apartments.

by Michelle Schultz/KCRA Staff4/21/2012 5:06:42 AM

The man involved here was standing in a common area of the complex when he was told police were at the scene, then he ran upstairs, Mallory Hoff reported.

by Michelle Schultz/KCRA Staff4/21/2012 5:07:40 AM

It's not clear what the relationship was between the apartment complex and the man believed to be the suspect. Police aren't sure if this is where he lived, or whether he had friends or family here, etc. Specifics not confirmed.

by Michelle Schultz/KCRA Staff4/21/2012 5:08:20 AM

A job well done by all law enforcement involved. They rarely get the credit they deserve when trying to protect private citizens. A job well done by kcra for keeping us informed

by Bet4/21/2012 5:35:11 AM

Way to go Officers!!! Thank you to all our law enforcement who kept the city safe,how many lives did they save today? This was a tough one on many levels, but right has prevailed. I do feel for the suspects family...they might be hurting right now. Hope the carjacking victims are okay and will recover quickly from such an ordeal.

by 7th child4/21/2012 5:35:21 AM
